Name: When Can I Go Home by Don Arbuckle
Duration: 3 min 18 s
Description: Released for Memorial Day 2025 in honor all of those who have served

A nostalgic pop punk single that glistens with gorgeous production saturated with layers of harmonies, "Blink" is a wistful escape back to the 90s and early 2000s alternative rock scene. Guided by Anji's siren song of a voice, and combined with gut wrenching lyrics that pack a powerful punch, “Blink” is a song you won’t be able to get out of your head once you’ve taken a dive into its colorful depths.

Blink

Blink - Anji Kaizen

We Are

Predicament

Picnic blanket, falling leaves
Borrowed your sweater, it’s big on me
The sun went down and we stood back up
The rush of feeling before it’s love
The night went long, our clothes stayed on
I played you my sad song
You biked home in the midnight storm
Your chapter in my life was too short

You hung my jacket, I fed your cat
You called me his step-mom and I liked that
I studied all the magnets on your freezer door
I felt secure enough to say I’m feeling insecure
Your kiss felt like a film played twice
The kind worth rewinding
My schedule knocked and then it dragged me out the door 
Your chapter in my life was too short

Dressed up pretty for Chinatown
We couldn’t find parking, we drove around
And I couldn’t put my finger on the place that you were coming from
You asked me how my day was but you didn’t seem to care much
It was a big road block, so we pulled off
Is this still what you want?
I thought your answer would sound more sure
Your chapter in my life was too short
Your chapter in my life was too short

Your Chapter (voice Memo)

TO KILL OR DIE FOR    

Here are the roses
Here is the wine
Our shared moment in  time
Our truth is chaos
A dangerous game
Like moths to an eternal flame  

Don’t want love to kill or die for
Nor safe love that can’t ignite
I want love I need to live for
I want love that needs to feel so right

Love we deserve
A blessing or curse
In our private universe
Guilty obsession
Gunpowder bloom
Crowded in this empty room

Clockwork Reverie

To Kill Or Die For

SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY
 
I was looking for miracles
Clemency divine
A little hope in the darkness
Where it might shine

Hold on tight
Until the light
Of the cruelest dawn
 
Oh say what you want to say  
Then cut these chains
Oh say what you want to say
If love can fade
So can pain

I made a vow to live a good life
I know you heard me swear
A hollow voice in the desert
No forgiveness there
 
Hold on tight
Until the light
Of the cruelest dawn

Oh say what you want to say  
Then cut these chains
Oh say what you want to say
If love can fade
So can pain

I dreamt with my damaged mind
I dreamt that our stars aligned
Who would believe we’d find
We’re out of time
Out of time

Oh say what you want to say  
Then cut these chains
Oh say what you want to say
If love can fade
So can pain

If love can fade
So can pain

When Can I Go Home

Stuck - Velvet East (Cloud Prescott, Steven Carlson)

I used to think that I could fly
But mama always said "Don't try."
I never listened to her
I never even asked her why

You see, Mama didn't have no answers
She only ever said I'd make her cry
If I didn't stop my wondering

I said, "Mama I don't want no problems"
So I left the house and went on my own
...Her husband never liked me anyway.

And I had my heart broke
I had my cellphone robbed
I had my own child
Things, they went sideways
I never had it my way
Looking for a place to stay
And living the hard way

I never understood your point of view
I never could do what ppl said I should
Living the hard way

The Hard Way

Titanic

Lyrics
Cold bones, yeah that's my love
She hides away, like a ghost
Does she know that we bleed the same?

Don't wanna cry but I break that way
Cold sheets, oh where's my love?

I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night
Does she know that we bleed the same?
Don't wanna cry but I break that way

Did she run away
Did she run away, I don't know
If she ran away
If she ran away, Come back home
Just come home

I got a fear, oh in my blood
She was carried up into the clouds, high above
If you bled I'll bleed the same
If you're scared I'm on my way

Did you run away
Did you run away, I don't need to know
If you ran away
If you ran away, come back home
Just come home
